Caigentan (Ts'ai-ken T'an)

There is an old saying: The bamboo shadow cannot dust off the steps. The sun penetrates the pond leaving no trace on the water. Our Scholar says : Though the stream flows swiftly by, the scene is forever still. While the flowers are wilting rapidly, my mind is cool. Treats things this way and how at ease I would be.
